Weak Trump Lays Foundation For Withdrawing Blanche Nomination
['Conover Kennard']
Crooks and Liars
Donald J. Trump unleashed a perfect example in saying, "I am in control" while doing the opposite on Truth Social.
Trump opened by canonizing Blanche as a "STAR" and a potential all-time-great AG — for a job Blanche doesn't currently have and, per his very post, isn't getting anytime soon.
Then comes the real tell: Trump claims he "refused to endorse" Cornyn and Thom Tillis and that he personally "ended" their political careers.
Trump’s comments came after the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a planned vote on Thursday to advance Blanche’s nomination.
Trump's post reads less like a man in command, and more like someone workshopping an exit strategy for a nominee he can't actually get confirmed.
